Gemma O‘Brien kicking off day two of #smashingconf Freiburg with an inspiring talk about her beautiful and powerful lettering and art work – and a super interesting interview about flow state. 👏
Thanks for coming to my talk at @smashingconf, everyone! It was a joy and an honour to be invited – and I hope it was valuable! 🤗💚 Here are the slides: https://noti.st/matthiasott/ZXgFeg #smashingconf
You’ll find me at the venue today, in case you have any questions. Enjoy day two! 🎉
Spent the night installing myself a few classic virtual pinball tables! Fish Tales (1992), Police Force (1989), Cirqus Voltaire (1997) and Lethal Weapon 3 (1992)
I also designed & 3D printed some supports to hold my TV at 10 degrees!
When the sound of thunder, and the rain on the roof above my head, means I can no longer hear my screen reader... BRB.
🏈🎉
That’s why you always need a bit of “DB wiggle room” 😉
My favourite table at the minute is the ‘LED’ mod of Creature From The Black Lagoon. It scratches all my glowey neon itches and looks perfect in my den!!
Off to Freiburg for @smashingconf! 🚄🤩🎉 See you soon! 🤗
It’s still a bit buggy and some things aren’t working properly, I suppose. And I also can’t wait to improve it and add more stuff to it now…
But hey: it’s alive!
🥳👀
Earlier this year, someone bought me some gorgeous bath bombs from Lush, and having decided to by myself some more, I've discovered that in January they renamed three of their bath bombs to "Diversity", "Equity", and "Inclusion", in protest against Trump's Executive Order.
More virtual pinball fun! Got the table running well in 4K with all the bells & whistles at a stable 60FPS/HZ! Now starting to think about a custom cabinet build with the help of my good friend Jack!

The UK will test its emergency alerts system at around 3PM on Sunday 7 September.
If you have a phone that you need to keep hidden to protect yourself, here's how to opt out of the emergency alerts:

Und los geht’s mit dem großen Rasenmäher-Härtetest nach dem Urlaub à la @spielundzeug. Allerdings nicht mit einem Roboter, sondern mit Gardenas kleinstem Akku-Mäher – wie so ein Neandertaler!!😁
There aren’t many albums that actually *the whole family* enjoys and everyone is humming along on a Saturday morning.
The New Abnormal by The Strokes is one of them. 🥁🎸😙🎶
@matuzo By the way: will @zachleat be at @smashingconf next week, too? 🖼️😁

Sounds like a challenge to me. Ready everyone?
Someone has just made my day by calling me "one of the accessibility OG" 😂
